Tyto is a character in Skyward Sword.[1]

Biography[]

Fi's Comment
Fi says:

His name is Tyto. He is a member of a highly civilized race of moles called the Mogma. All Mogmas have a deep and abiding love of treasure.

Tyto is a blue-haired Mogma. When Link enters Eldin Volcano, he can dig Tyto out of his burrow with the Digging Mitts, frightening the Mogma.[2] Tyto then dismisses Link, stating that it is impossible to stop digging when what could be found is unknown.[3] He tells Link about what he might find while digging with the Digging Mitts.[4] The Mogma encourages the hero to dig whenever there is an opportunity.[5] If Link speaks to Tyto again, he will warn Link about red, blobby things that will sometimes come from burrows.[6]
